ABOUT THE PROPERTY:

Brand New in 2023 and Double the fun!!! "Aquarius Resort" combines two of our most popular beach houses -- located next door to each other -- into one easy-to-book listing! Aquarius North (Property ID # 4512067) & Aquarius South (#3116784) combines to form a 17BR/11BA, five-star luxury beach-house compound featuring TWO heated swimming pools plus spas, outdoor summer kitchen/grills & play areas, putting green, two private docks on the Indian River, and more. (The Indian River is the most biodiverse estuary in North America, teeming with fish, dolphin, manatee and 4000+ species of marine life).

Note: For more pictures & videos and additional information about each home, visit their own VRBO listing pages at ID# 4512067 and 3116784.

And as is always the case with Beach Houses in Paradise, you enjoy our complete set of complimentary water toys and recreational items. Kayaks, paddleboards, bicycles, AquaCycles, fishing gear, snorkel gear, and so much more. (They come pre-stocked for you at the property, ready for you to enjoy, and at no additional cost).

At rates starting at less than $100 per night per bedroom, enjoy 5-star luxury amenities and accommodations at an affordable price (the proverbial champagne on a beer budget!) Note: Your beach homes are rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers or unknown travelers.

With 17 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, Aquarius Resort is one of several luxury five-star properties operated by Beach Houses in Paradise, the 20-year leader in offering 5-star luxury, amenities and service in sunny waterfront settings.

REVIEWS: Aquarius Resort is brand new, so there aren't many reviews yet. For more than 1,000 additional five-star reviews of BHIP properties in the same neighborhood, type "VRBO Beach houses in Paradise" into your favorite internet search service & read all of our five-star VRBO reviews for BHIP beach properties just like this one.

Own a boat? Bring it! Moor it at either of your own private docks, & there's even room to park your trailer. RVs ? room for those too!

Wear your t-shirt, shorts & flip-flops to the airport, because that's all you need to bring for your Florida beach-house vacation. (We provide the rest.) Travel light—and live large—with the fully-stocked, 5-Star-amenity properties of Beach Houses in Paradise. (At BHIP, our motto is "We stock heavy, so you can travel light.")



ALL-INCLUSIVE / EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED:

From bicycles to beach blankets, towels to toilet paper, paddleboards to picnic baskets, and all points between. Did you know that fewer than 25% of the FL listings on VRBO include high chairs for little ones? And less than half of listings include an iron/ironing board? (Experiment with the VRBO "More Filters" search feature and see for yourself) Many vacation rentals don't even provide you a full supply of toilet paper (!) or such basics as towels, bed linens, toiletries, paper goods or even cooking essentials like salt, pepper, spices, oils & other basic staples.

And can you imagine arriving at your vacation rental, only to discover that there are no coolers, ice, beach chairs, beach towels, beach blankets, umbrellas and beach toys like sand pails, bikes, cornhole, volleyball, kayaks, & horseshoes? Why waste the first day of your precious vacation—& more money—shopping at the local Wal-Mart? Instead, book a Beach House in Paradise and begin relaxing the ~moment~ you arrive. (We even pre-heat hot tubs & pools & put out the bathrobes & towels so your relaxing beach vacation can start the moment you arrive.)

No hidden fees: Other vacation-rental companies nickel & dime you with surcharges such as pool-heating fees, Wi-Fi surcharges, fees for using shampoos & soaps, rental fees for kayaks, bikes & paddleboards, even a fee if you don't empty the refrigerator at the end of your stay(!) At BHIP, there are no hidden surcharges, fines or penalties.

Plus: Enjoy our complimentary water toys & recreational items. Kayaks, paddleboards, bicycles, fishing & snorkel gear & more. Jet skis & boats available, too!



VIDEOS, 3D TOURS, FLOOR PLANS & MORE: Want a closer look at the property? Just ask! We have videos, architectural floor plans, Immersive 3D Tours, and more. (Note: All communications must take place on the VRBO platform; this property is available only via VRBO)



PERFECT LOCATION:

Not only is the property situated in the most biodiverse marine environment in North America (source: Florida Oceanographic Institute), it's also located in Stuart FL, 2024 winner of the USA Today "Best Coastal Small Towns in America" rankings. (And #1 winner of the "Happiest Seaside Town in USA" award by Coastal Living Magazine!) Locals of a certain age—that remember TV's "The Andy Griffith Show"—proudly call Stuart the "Mayberry of Florida".

EVENTS & CELEBRATIONS:

Planning a modest event or small gathering at the property? Or is your rental in association with an event held at a nearby venue? We'd love to help! Event-related reservations are approved on a case-by-case basis. Please note that due to the pristine, delicate barrier-island environment, special restrictions may apply (COVID-19 restrictions may also apply).

Important: Please inquire about your event BEFORE booking (to avoid paying cancellation fee).



MORE THAN 25 ADULTS? Aquarius Resort might be a tight fit. Please inquire before booking.



Nervous about alligators? Don't be! They don't exist in this part of Florida. (Gators can't survive near the beach in saltwater environments; they live only inland, where there is fresh water.)



About sand fleas & mosquitos: These outdoor pests sometimes visit "Wild" coastal Florida, too! Recently, the homeowner installed a property-wide misting system that provides relief from stinging pests on the property and poolside (push-button mist-on-demand controls).



A TREASURE CHEST OF DELIGHT:

The property sits in the middle of the "Treasure Coast". To this very day, gold doubloons, pieces of eight & other Spanish treasure still wash up along Hutchinson Island, after big storms. (Complimentary beach-comber metal-detectors and instructions are provided.)



HELP PRESERVE OUR PRISTINE AREA

The river is considered among the most biologically rich & environmentally sensitive estuary in North America. Our owners avidly support local environmental groups, contributing millions in recent decades.

Help preserve our area:

* Don't approach dolphins, sea turtles & manatees (often seen near the end of the dock). These are protected species. The offshore marine patrol prosecutes aggressively.
* Please clean up after a successful day fishing. Discard all hooks, line & litter.



CANCELLATION IN WHOLE, NOT IN PART:

Cancellability applies only to the 2-house property as a single reservation. You may not cancel "one half" of the reservation (i.e., one house) & keep the other house. (If you believe you may need to do so, please book each home under a separate individual reservation)

For a large family, it doesn't get any better than this!
Look no further. If you like what you see online, you will love it in person. We rented both Aquarius North and South to accommodate our group of 20 and every single person agreed that it was fantastic. Our 3rd vrbo large family booking(previous bookings on Anna Maria Island) and we can't say enough about the property manager. Any issue, no matter how small (fridge filter needed replacing, pool heater stopped heating) was addressed and corrected within an hour. BHIP has raised the bar for all property managers out there! You will feel as if you have stepped into a 5star resort - the attention to detail exceeds any past rental. They mean what they say - you arrive and immediately relax up until the moment you walk out the door. The abundance of toys were enjoyed by all. Little details like providing telescoping smore sticks to enjoy with the firepit - who thinks of this? We rented jet skis from Salty's Water Sports. Again, very responsive and went out of their way to accommodate our needs. I guarantee you WILL NOT regret your stay at Aquarius North and South.
Stayed 14 nights in Nov 2023
